    Greetings All!

    Just installed DB on os2 so far so good, very good looking, functioning program... Still a lot to read about but really like how easy it was to get installed etc... Strong work!

    Welcome! Is is true that I can only have 200 msg areas on my system using D'Bridge? Someone just mentioned that to me.

    If you are using QuickBBS/Hudson storage, yes. If you are using GoldBase, the limit is 500. Its not so much a limitation of D'Bridge but with those specific storage formats themselves.

    If you use *.MSG storage you may have 32,000+ areas.

    Thanks for clearing that up. I did read your docs (also very nice)... I dont think either of my BBS's will work with DB area limitation, so I either start another or use it as a point.. I cant delete it, I like it too much...

    You are more than welcome to use a 3rd-party tosser with D'Bridge; there are many Sysops with Squish/JAM based BBS's that use one this way and just leave the mailer exchanging things via BinkD.
